Advanced Wireless and GPS Technology
At the heart of the StreetPilot c550 is a high-sensitivity WAAS-capable GPS receiver by SiRF that provides outstanding acquisition times and the ability to maintain a strong signal under heavy foliage and near city skyscrapers. This means you'll always know precisely where you are. Meanwhile, an automotive-grade, sunlight-readable, 2.8 x 2.1-inches (WxH) anti-glare TFT LCD touch-screen display offers easy readability. With dimensions of 4.4 x 3.2 x 2.2-inches (WxHxD), and at about nine ounces in weight, the StreetPilot c550 features a streamlined design that will fit easily on any dashboard with the included vehicle suction mount. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PlN or take the unit to a predetermined location.



The StreetPilot c550 also includes Bluetooth technology integrated with a microphone and dual speakers that lets you make hands-free mobile phone calls on a compatible Bluetooth wireless phone. You can view incoming calls on your c550, and simply tap the screen to answer. Just speak into the built-in microphone while staying focused on your driving. ln addition, you can retrieve and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or the phone's call history log. You can also make calls from the more than six million points of interest database -- which includes hotels, restaurants, stores, and much more.



Another feature unique to the c550 is its integrated traffic capabilities. The c550 includes the GTM 20, an integrated FM TMC traffic receiver with a free three-month trial subscription (for U.S. customers only). The GTM 20 notifies you of traffic conditions, construction and weather delays, and automatically suggests alternative routes. The navigator also comes with preloaded maps of North America and includes automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective, and turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names -- making navigation as easy as it gets. An included MP3 player lets you enjoy music from your digital collection while you drive, and an included SD memory card expansion slot means that you can load optional software, such as language and travel guides -- making travel even easier and more entertaining than ever.

Buyer's feedback: - * !!! ...
Bertha (we named her) has saved our lives, literally. We were once lost at night in a very bad neighorborhood, and it saved us instantly! The GPS can get tempermental, taking a few minutes to acquire a signal, but she is alwasy reliable. Her routes can change from time to time, but i would trust my life with it!

Buyer's feedback: - Everything I expected and more.
Everything I expected and more. I had no problem updating the firmware or updating the maps. I tested it in town and it worked fine. It found plenty of restaurants as well as the movie theaters. The 2009 map update was free and a very big file...2GB! For ten dollars more you can get the C580 with MSM-Direct if thats important to you. I was glad to find out the 3.5" display was plenty big, after all you are letting it give you directions, not using it to watch a movie.

Buyer's feedback: - * Useful aid ...
It is a very useful aid to find your way around, look for a restaurant or use the cell phone in the car. The device mounts easily on the windshield and is small enough not to destruct the view. The directions are clear and entering an address or a special place are fairly straight forward. However this device still needs a lot of improvement to be a main stream driving aid tool. The names of the streets are not very clearly pronounced and there is too much relience on on-screen instructions or touch screen operations. For example, using the bluetooth feature which is supposed to give you "hands free" operation, you need to touch the screen to answer a call or to end it. I can see how it may lead to accidents instead of preventing them. It is excellent when someone is sitting by the driver paying attention to messages, and the information provided. But when a driver is alone in the car it is a major distruction to driving. By comarison, a cell phone is just a minor one.

Buyer's feedback: - GPS is GREAT!
This is a great item. Well worth the money - and I have enjoyed using it. It is easy to use.

It does - sometimes - take a little long to load the satellite connection, but for the most part, I have NO complaints!!

Buyer's feedback: - * Best for the money - Awesome gadget ...
I bought this one for my daughter as a graduation gift for heading off to college this fall that is 3 hrs away. But first I had to try it out before giving it to her. I loved it, had no clue what I was missing till I just took it out of my car and moved to my daughters car so that she has it for college.

I have yet to not have a signal except when going through the tunnel on the way to VA Beach but what did you expect in there. This is so easy to set up and use and stores all the locations that you want to save.

I think now I will go and buy one for myself.
